[beodo]

Hello, I'm having probelms with a segate barracuda IDE 200gb. You can see what happens in the attached video.

I have the operating system an emule working almost all day in this hd.

Sometimes it begins like in the video and then, the systen crash, and I have to reset. This could happend 3 times in a week, or 0 times in a month...

Ther's no bad sectors in the HD.

What do you think?

Sounds like heads resetting. Backup your data ASAP and get rid of the drive.

Tried to check with another Power supply +12v, but if problem still´s could be big problems inside HDD. backup data on first

Backup your critical data first while its still working. It could be as simple as your power supply not supplying enough power to the drive. Simply checking the voltage wont tell you anything. You could have 12volts but barely enough amps to run the drive and all the other accessories. Did you install any upgrades lately? Do you have a large enough power supply? But by all means backup your data while you can!
